So now that May 21st has come and gone for the entire world, we can finally put to rest the prophesy of Harold Camping that the rapture would sweep
all the righteous away. The man has disappeared, but the wake he has left behind him is astounding, and in my opinion - a controlled deception.

There is a reason for it all. There is a reason that the powers that be allowed the message of May 21st to become so widespread; that they allowed the
main stream media to report on it and subsequently pass it off as a bad joke. What has happened with the date is not just a failed prophecy, but the
painting of a picture that is intended to last within the minds of all for years to come.

"Anyone who believes in such wacky ideas like this - is a complete loon."

I feel that October will be the second of the days to discredit those who have ever called for something drastic to happen to the world - to silence
all the purveyors of 2012 and anything that might come. Regardless of what government are doing behind close doors to prepare for some kind of event,
regardless how many signs point to some kind of change in the woodwork, and regardless of how chaotic this world comes or how many lies the people
finally figure out - those who spread possibility, who spread information, who preach about the end of an age - they will all be lunatics, the same
fringe who believed in May 21st and the rapture. They will all become Harold Camping's.

Not that many aren't already. To some people the theories of the "end of an age" and the countless 2012 possibilities are all sure signs of a
lunatic. Some people will refuse to believe the lessons of the past and many will continue to believe that the world and humanity as it stands is
invincible. Some people will remain ignorant to the proven underground bunkers and supplies that government have prepared leading up to SOME event.
The ignorant ones will be deemed sane. The ones spreading warning will be Harold Camping, will be the fringe, and will be ignored completely.

To me, and and I daresay to many others, we recognize the changes in the world over the past couple of years. Some will try to rationalize it under
science, even though it does not do justice to past evidence. Some will try to subject it to coincidence even though to them - there is no
coincidence. The world continues to change, and at a quickening pace. Some will try to tell me that natural disasters have always been this bad in the
past. They are lying to themselves. Some will try to tell me that mass animal die offs are a common occurrence, even though only a handful can be
found for any given couple of years prior. Some will tell me that the economies of the world are recovering, and the the powers are NOT suicidally
jumping headfirst into everything. They only make me laugh.

The world is changing. Regardless of whether it has to do with 2012 or any other man proposed prophesy, there should be no doubt in anybody's mind
that we are entering into a new age of humanity, of our planet. But do realize that no matter how much truth there is to that- you will have to stay
strong. If you think you were ridiculed for your beliefs and your observations before... just wait until now. Not only out there in the world, but
here on ATS - ridiculing for the believers of such things is going to grow exponentially, and the entire time the powers that be are going to be
watching and laughing while they prepare to hide in their shelters for whatever it is that is coming.

Mark my words. This is only the beginning.

That makes very much sense! I believed in the rapture, it was a possibility but 2012 is definitely real for me. I had never thought of it that way
before...

Just bear with me, I don't have a 'cool' avitar, nor am I much in agreement with probably the majority here, but my thoughts on this are pretty
basic. If you can catch somebody in two or three sentances, you stand a chance of gaining a following, If... there is any substance. And by the same
token, that sort of 'grab' for an audience is likely an audience with very little depth or insight. How many people had any knowledge of Harold
Camping's background, other than the 'flaming' they read or heard in the news comentaries...? And made their own. I would venture one in ten, and
thats reaching.....real far. I'v been listening and participating in Family Radio since 1990 or thereabouts, and let me clarify there that it was
only by Shortwave listening and call-in's. The first event in September of 94 was an eye opener for me as the prophecy came and went, but along the
lines of this topic/post, there was some residual memory of what could be gleaned out of the failed event, as in "don't throw the baby out with the
bathwater". There was a substantial amount of sound and valid doctrine espoused by 'Brother Camping'. Never the less, this whole site "ATS" is by
it's very nature, on the fringe. On the fringe in tastes and in verasity of some of the more Tin Hat stories coming through these portals.
Additionally I think this site may be pro athiest in the sense of the population statistics of membership leanings. That matters little, never the
less it's leading up to a counter to the notion that this would stay engrained in our minds for future assessment of events or news items evolving
over time. I think most athiests or agnostics might note it as a curriosity possibly, buy more likely give it a brief comment and then completly
dismiss it. Most of the memories are disposed of in weeks or months, oh they exist..... with a bit of coaching and prodding, but for all practical
purposes they are forgotten. I believe either of two things might unfold..... and that is the Biblical pronouncements or an extinction event by our
own making, ie. pollution. Look at China's pollution problems now, and India to a lesser degree. These runaway pollution catastrophes are ever on the
increase, I mean Fukushima is nowhere even close to containment, Cherynobal is barely contained, and in need of sarcophagus repair or more layers of
concrete. These are only two incidents. Theres a host more that need imediate reversals, fut that;s unlikely. Well ....just some of my thoughts, and
sorry about the spelling but I really don't think thats as important as the message. I don't think the threat comes from some Illuminati
cave/cavern/bunker dwellers.
